Spring in the Welty Garden

This week we are having a cold snap but last week was warm and it was definitely spring in the Welty garden.

The rose bed there is looking better than I have seen it and I thought you might enjoy a glimpse of some of the spring blooms…

I was happy to see Silver Moon on the arbor in the upper garden…

pretty poppies…

the day I was there volunteering happened to be Earth Day and I thought I couldn’t have found a better place to spend it…

I can’t resist showing you a couple of favorites in my garden!

I got a cutting of this from my friend Susan Haltom., author of One Writer’s Garden. She christened it Miss Pearl, named after the gardener who gave her a cutting! I love it because it is so sweet but also because it has a story…

The cascading rose on the wall is Peggy Martin aka the Katrina Rose so named after volunteers found it blooming at the very tip of Louisiana after devastating Hurricane Katrina. Mine started as a small cutting taken from my friend Lee Threeadgill’s garden and look at her now…
